Frustrating Lack of Preferences and Ability to Record
Hello -
I am trying to use my iSight Camera/Mic to record my voice in GB3. Although the iSight is connected and working, nothing happens in GB3 when I record. (It puts a region in the track, but there's no sound recorded.) When I tried to open preferences to choose the iSight as the input device, preferences wouldn't open.
After looking at the suggestions in this forum, I put all the .plist and .cs files related to GB into the trash and restarted.
Still, I couldn't open preferences nor could I record with iSight.
This is an extremely frustrating bug in GB3. I hope someone at Apple is working 24/7 to resolve this simple glitch. I'm about ready to put my fist through my cinema screen. I'd appreciate any help you guys could give me to make this thing work.
Thanks,
Mary.

ICloud lack of preferences and attachment issues
I've been using iCloud mail for a few weeks after leaving Outlook/Hotmail due to problems. It seems like I've traded off one set is issues for another set with iCloud mail.
There appears to be no preferences available at all to set up preferred body typefaces and styles, email signature (ie. setting sections in bold or italics), colours or anything like what I could do through Outlook. Even this forum box has more type settings, smileys and indent settings than iCloud
More annoyingly, any pdfs I attach and send through iCloud mail more often get a renamed to something along the lines of 'ATT000046.pdf'. This creates real issues for me as a freelance designer reliant on jobs being sent to my clients which are precisely named. I cannot work out why some clients receive the correctly named file, and others receive an 'ATT........' one.
Some files also change to .dat files (a Windows file!?) – this often happens when I zip several pdfs together.
It's getting really frustrating having no great functionality and the attachment issues too, I'd say iCloud mail is worse than Outlook.
Can anyone help?This has happened to me as well and it's making me seriously consider going back to gmail. My pdf attachments are being received as .dat files. Plus, just this morning a pdf that I received came over as a .dat file into my iCloud mailbox. I forwarded the message to my gmail account and it was a perfect pdf that I opened.
I got my Mac about a year ago (which I LOVE) and I decided to go all Apple all the time. But
-The iCloud email thing has so many quirks, like thei .dat file thing.
-The Apple maps aren't as good as the Google Maps app. I was in NYC this weekend with the family and I tried to use both- Google just worked better (it hurts me to say that).
-I know that iCloud for documents is the wave of the future (or so they say), but Dropbox just works so effortlessly for my document storage.
-I know that iWoks is the future, but I can't collaborate with Pages-- my clients all need .doc files and I can't always export to a .doc file. Sometimes Pages won't let me export, other times things like indentations are off. I got picked for the beta test of iWorks in the cloud and it's nice, but limited in functionality
I'm wondering if I should be all Apple devices and go back to gmail/google maps/office. I don't want to do that- I want to be all Apple...not sure what to do because this is driving me crazy. I'm thinking of waiting for iOS7 to come out and see how it works. I know that Apple Maps is being updated too. Not sure.
Sorry for the rant. -
Camera Functions: As Security and Ability to Record
I would like to have a webcamera that can detect motion and then record all that it "sees" until there is no longer any motion detected. I would like to later view the video of the motion and what was detected. I was looking at the WebCam NX since it states that the software included will allow me to operate my own security "spycam." I am curious if it will provide me with the above function. In addition to that function, I would like the function of being able to go onto Yahoo Messenger (or a similar program) and be able to view what the camera is "seeing" at any one time. Can that be done? I appreciate your assistance with this question.

Ability to record and playback role play activities
Hi All,
I conduct skill training sessions using Adobe Connect and would like the ability to record a role play between two people sharing webcams, and have the ability to immediately play back and debrief this video recording. Besides using a third-party screen capture program, are there any other solutions/techniques I can use to accomplish this.
Many thanks in advance.
JonHave you managed to fix this frustrating problem.
I have Flash Builder 4 and I am having exactly the same problem.
I cannot find a solution to it anywhere.

i recently got new mac air and transferred my old version garageband projects now when I open them in 10.0.2 I can add new tracks but then nothing can record, shows its receiving sound from software inst. but no sound. I checked audio preferences and they are set as they should be. I tried it in all the other older projects and same issue anyone have any experience like this very frustrating. Can one download old version still ? or can you run both versions on OS10.9.5 ?
Ok, either my question was too long or nobody seems to have an answer. Sad, either way
Here's something I found out in the meantime, maybe this is interesting for somebody or maybe - problem's not totally solved - enough info for any of you to give me further advice.
When I start Logic Core Audio driver de-activated, I can open old songs. Then I save them in a new folder with all audio files and a new name. And I remove all EXS24 instruments as well as the Space Designer. I quit Logic, re-open with Core Audio activated and I can open the song.
Problem no.1: EXS24 instruments don't find the appropriate samples, but EXSMananger Pro did help me with this. Same problem with Space Designer, which doesn't find the impulse responses, connected to a certain preset.
Two questions, every idea would be great!
- Is there any way to teach Space Designer Presets where to look for impulse respones. I can load IR samples directly and create a new preset, but I can't use my old ones.
- Is it possible to install Logic from scratch over an existing version? Or how should I de-install everything connected with Logic and then install a fresh version from CD?
Thank you again,

System Preferences quits suddenly. I have lost the dock, including the trash and ability to change desktop image. How can I replace this part of System Preferences? Where can I find Trash? All other aspects of System Preferences work.
just that that is one method, and lacks provision for working boot image and for an emergency - Lion gives a small minimal emergency boot environment but may lack all the utilities you need to use and run, even some drivers that your mac requires for add on PCIe.
Just grab and look through Help in Carbon Copy and SuperDuper, both excellent and each has their use - together - for cloning.
And do you have two TM backup sets? ought to consider that also, rotate daily or make a weekly set. Otherwise you are putting all your eggs in the proverbial one basket. -

Secure Video conferencing with the ability to record
Hi,
I am looking for a flash based secure video conferencing app which has the ability to record conferences.
I need it to enable a series of helpdesk type sessions and would prefer to use Flash so that the users do not have long set-up times.
Does anyone know of any off the shelf or open source apps that are out there?
ThanksWell and If you look at any thing by blackberry you can see that it does not match up on its features versus the iPhone. iPhone users and those of us who use it for it's amazing abilities aren't caught up on the fact that it lacks video, or picture messaging. There are other things that are more important to worry about with this phone. Play around with it and you can see that this is a very powerful tool. I switched to AT&T just to get the iPhone. Blackberry's phones have nothing on the iPhone, the way i look at it is the iPhone can only blow your mind away in the next model and until then get used to it's functions. I'd rather know how to use it at it's "simple" state as opposed to it high tech overly advanced possibilities.

Can someone help me?How do I take the zoom feature off my MacBook Pro? I have already went to System Preferences and turned "zoom" off in the Universal Access. I saw where someone said to use THREE fingers to double click... ??? Double click what? And 3 fingers?
What really cheeses me off here is that Apple isn't allowing users enough customization. With each update of iTunes (and the OS and iOS) we're forced to give up something that worked well for the way we want to use the app and make do with fewer (and lamer) options. If Apple keeps this up, they're going to start losing customers fast. I mean if this isn't fixed soon, I'm pretty sure I'm going to give up on iTunes, and then I'll probably go ahead and get a Galaxy when I need to replace my iPhone.
What I don't understand about how they won't let users delete the list of available podcasts now is why? How is this making it a better program? I can understand that not all users are capable enough to right-click on a feed and select "Show all available episodes", so I can see why they want the complete list to be the default (and, surprise, it already was). But to not give users the option to delete that list? It's inconsiderate because it makes navigating feeds with a large back catalogue really frustrating. I'm flabbergasted that no one at Apple considered all the podcast feeds that keep hundreds of episodes available when they removed this feature. It smacks of rank incompetence.
What improvement were they trying to make here anyway? There was nothing wrong to my mind about how podcasts were managed in previous versions. Whatever improvement they were trying to make here, they should have realized that many users would at least want the option to keep things the way they were.
And reverting to a previous version is no solution. I can't sync my iPhone with the new iOS without this update, and (while I do have some issues--specifically how you can't play podcasts in the Music app anymore) I do like the new iOS. -
The lack of details and customer service.
After less than one month of ownership, my Ideapad K1 power button broke. After talking to a customer service rep (K). She informed me it will have to be returned to Lenovo for repair, which will take about 7 to 10 business days from time of delivery. I asked to speak to a supervisor at which point she puts me on hold and then comes back on the line to tell me the supervisor stated the same thing. At no point did I ask her to confirm this with the supervisor. I asked again to speak to her supervisor, to which she puts me on hold again. The supervisor (R) comes on the line to tell me that the Ideapad K1 will have to be returned for repair. He then transfers me back to K to finalize the return, to which she now informs me I will have to pay for shipping. This is very poor customer service in my view. I will never buy another Lenovo product as long as I live and would advise every one I meet not to buy one either. I was looking at their high end laptops for my corporate deployment, its a shame. Maybe I will be going with DELL as they will send a Tech to my house to perform repairs. I do hope that all customer calls are recorded as I believe someone needs to listen to the lack of professionalism and customer service that both K and R display.
Note from Moderator: Employee name/e-mail/phone removed to protect their privacy per the forum rules.Hi i had the excact same thing i got the k1 for christmas and now its january and the power button doesnt work ..i never dropped it always put it in its case and there is not a dam scratch on the thing least they could do is pay for shipping there defective product back to them so it can be fixed

Customer Service Miscommunication and a large lack of communication and follow through
I seem to be having a lot of difficulty with Verizon Wireless Customer Service the last few months and am becoming increasingly frustrated. Let me start by saying I have been with Verizon for years, my wife, kids, and in laws all have Verizon, and my Father and Step mother are soon making a decision to move their service over from AT&T. I may tell them to think again about that.
October to 2012 we bought my step daughter a basic phone. She has had a number of problems with it. It doesn't hold a charge, it restarts or shuts down randomly. They sent her a replacement, and that phone had the same issues. So we decided we would upgrade to an iPhone for her back in March. Customer service said her plan was grandfathered in for an early upgrade and she would be eligible in May. Great, so we waited a couple of months and when we looked into upgrading, the sales rep said she is not eligible until October, no early upgrades are available. We told him what the CSR said, he said thats not what his system said and he began walking away. I asked him to please call customer service. He did, and after 45 minutes on the phone between Customer service and him and then customer service and my wife, it was determined she could upgrade that day, but it would have to be through the phone. I wish she did it on the phone there so all of this time wouldn't had been wasted, but we had things to do so she said we would call back when in the car. The sales rep told us to ask about the free promotion Verizon is offering a free 32 GB iPhone 5C.
We got in the car, called the Customer Service number, talked to a rep who said that line was not eligible until October. We told him about the entire conversation we just had 5 minutes ago at the store, he just kept insisting we were not eligible. I asked to speak with a supervisor, he then put us on hold for 45 minutes and then we got disconnected.
We called back, spoke with another rep, told her about the upgrade, were told once again we were not eligible until October. Once again we went through the entire conversation from the store, told her about being on the phone an hour and getting disconnected, she said she would look into everything, put us on hold for 15 minutes, came back and said we would be eligible June 30th....not today. I asked about the Free 32GB 5C, she said that was for "select" customers and she could not offer that to us. This was now disappointing on a few levels, between the last 2 hours of getting nowhere and now we are not eligible for something others can get, this left a bad taste in my mouth. She put us on hold for a supervisor. After going back and forth on being told by multiple reps we could upgrade in May and now being told we can't and not being given any reasons as to why this changes from one person to another, the Supervisor said she would make us eligible to upgrade early that day, but that because it was before 6/30 we could not get the 5C promotion. We asked if we would be eligible for the promotion if we waited until June 30, she said yes, but we could not get it before then. We confirmed this 3 times and asked her to put a note in the system so we would not have to go through this again. She confirmed with me 3 times, we could upgrade that day and pay the discounted price for the 5C, but if we waited until 6/30 we would be eligible for the 32GB 5C at no charge. This was what we were looking for and were willing to wait.
The other day I called to confirm that when we walk into the store next Monday-6/30 the notes were in the system, and we would not have any problem getting the promotion. The rep said we would not be eligible to upgrade for any discounts until October....<sigh> Went through previous conversations once again, asked for her to please look through the notes, she saw the supervisors note showing we could upgrade at the discount but no mention of the 5C promotion and said Marketing had not "Flagged" us for that promo and we could not get it. I asked once again to speak to a supervisor, she looked through the account and repeated the same thing about not being flagged but she would send an email to the supervisor that added the notes and find out what was going on. I asked to be CC'ed so I can have this all in writing, she said yes, and to expect to hear back from someone by the end of the next business day.
It is now 4 days later, I have not heard from anybody, I figured today I would look at MY plan and see if I could at least use one of the lines on my account and see if I was eligible for the promotion. Mind you, last year when I upgraded to the 5S, I was talked into adding my Verizon iPad to it, and instead of going month to month on it, add it to a shared plan, and I would be able to use the line on my iPad to upgrade to a newer phone, he even showed me how to do it myself. So now when I was looking to do what I was promised I could do, I am not able to do it, it only showed I can upgrade to another tablet only. I did the online chat and the rep told me that policies can change from day to day without notice. This does not sit well with me at all. I get sold to do something based on what the rules are one day, and tomorrow the rules change, this to me is equivalent to Bait & Switch and I now have to question the ethics here. This also tells me Verizon at this point takes retained customers for granted where my past experience was so much better than it is now.
Due to the complete lack of communication and simply keeping notes of previous conversations in their system so you don't have to keep explaining yourself over and over and being told different things by every rep I speak to down the line, I am not just back at square one with my step daughters phone, but a step back on what I signed up for on my plan.
AT&T has a program now that pays the Early Termination Fee and gives full discounts and Promos for new customers. I may be forced to look into this as it will cost me much less down the line in time and money, and I can use talk and data at the same time.
All I ask from Verizon is to listen, communicate, follow up and follow through.Feel free to sink this, I rang and sorted it.

I am about to purchase a digital point and shoot camera with the ability to record HD video. I plan on importing all pics and video to iPhoto and want to begin creating iMovies combining photo's and the video clips.
It seems from the many posts that .MOV is supported in iMovie, but many posts in the community seemed to suggest that .MOV does not always work in iMovie.YEAH, but "iMovie" changes the "camcorder Mts" files into "mov" files and
this causes some lost of movie quality. To maintain the highest quality
camcorder movie quality you must not change the "mts" files. However, if
you want to "merge" any of your camcorder movies (and you most likely
will) any merging also changes the "mts" files to "mov" etc., so you will still
loose movie quality. "There appears to be no way to avoid loosing picture
quality once you decide to change the "Mts" files to something other". -
